FARM GIRL TURNS EVERYTHING AROUND: SLY HUSBAND, LET'S FARM

Chapter 841: Chapter 841 Hard Work_1

Yang City.

Today was clear, with the sun hanging high in the sky. Yang Ye stood on the simple platform at the entrance of County Town, holding several pages of announcement paper, reading aloud.

What was written on the paper was the case involving the Sun Family and Zhuang Lühe, and the people below listened intently.

The imperial decree from the Court had already been issued, and his route map had also been distributed. At every County Town he reached, the local magistrate had prepared a platform and summoned the people, so all he had to do was ascend the platform and read.

Under normal circumstances, this would mean he would stay in a County Town for no more than three days.

But things did not go as he wished. Since leaving the Capital City, and following the borders of several Prefecture Cities, he encountered three cases of people blocking his way to cry for justice, all within a bit more than a month.

…

After reading the cases, he particularly emphasized that the handling of cases by the magistrates must follow the “Daqi Laws,” and if there were violations of the “Daqi Laws,” they could be reported.

In the previous dynasty, commoners who sued officials would be punished, even if they won the case—they would still be beaten.

When Yang Wenxiao drafted the Daqi Laws, he abolished this rule. If one encountered injustice, they were encouraged to file a complaint.

Thus, within a month of his saying so, three cases of commoners filing complaints occurred.

He was only there to read the cases and had no real power himself, unable to interfere with local administrative affairs.

With people blocking his carriage and kneeling on the ground with tears, all he could do was send a message to the Capital City, asking Emperor Yong’an for a decision.

Moreover, to avoid retaliation, he would stay in the area until the person appointed by Emperor Yong’an arrived, and after the case was settled and the County Magistrate was either dismissed or reprimanded, he could finally leave.

At this rate, he feared he might not return to the Capital City within a year.

The assignment Emperor Yong’an had given him was indeed a hard one.

Feeling melancholic, after finishing the reading of the contents on the announcement paper, Yang Ye looked down at the people below.

He prayed earnestly to the heavens that there would be no more cases of injustice!

Today, the heavens seemed to hear his prayers. He smiled faintly as he looked at the people below. After watching for the time it takes an incense stick to burn without anyone stepping forward to report a grievance, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped down from the platform.

The Magistrate of Yang City was standing by, inviting him with a smile to return to the post station.

Yang City was known for its sheep, and most of the merchants here dealt in sheep-related business. The County Magistrate had already prepared a whole sheep feast for Yang Ye, just waiting for him to sit down to the meal.

Yang Ye waved his hand, indicating that the County Magistrate could go back first; there was no need to accompany him, he could eat on his own just fine.

The fish hot pot soup base sent by Qiao Xiaomai had already arrived; why bother with a whole sheep feast? Eating hot pot was the real deal.

Once at the post station, he had someone bring over a stove with a small iron pot on top. He opened the earthenware jar, poured the thick soup base into the iron pot—following Qiao Xiaomai’s instructions in the letter, he only poured out half, saving the other half for the evening.

He added a small amount of water, and soon enough, the soup base began to bubble in the pot.

The familiar, clean fragrance wafted through the air.

He couldn’t resist and scooped up a spoonful of soup to taste.

The moment the soup entered his mouth, its freshness and fragrance burst forth, prompting Yang Ye to squint his phoenix eyes in delight.

This was the taste life should have!

First, he ladled out a bowl of soup, and then he poured in the fish balls and shrimp balls prepared by Qiao Xiaomai.

Half an hour later, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a cloth, then stood up with a satisfied look on his face.

Although the taste couldn’t compare to dishes freshly served, on this bumpy journey, it was enough to comfort his soul.
